More quotes by Carl Lewis
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.
Carl Lewis
The best kids are going to become the best. But the best thing about it is that you're going to learn lessons in playing those sports about winning and losing and teamwork and teammates and arguments and everything else that are going to affect you positively for the rest of your life.
Carl Lewis
I'm very serious about becoming a dramatic actor. I don't want to play cameo parts walking on as Carl Lewis the athlete. I want to go on stage or screen and be taken seriously.
Carl Lewis
I always separated sports and my personal life.
Carl Lewis
I don't feel I'm qualified to be a coach outside the high school level. I think I would need to do more education to really be a good coach.
Carl Lewis
By carrying the torch, you will be bridging cultural and social barriers, and all the boundaries that separate nation from nation.
Carl Lewis
I tell you, it was kind of two-fold. I fortunately had a lot of support. My coach was amazing - he told me to focus on being prepared and that is what I did. Every athlete is nervous - any athlete who tells you they're not nervous isn't telling you the truth. I was as prepared as I could be.
Carl Lewis
I never competed against athletes. I competed against perfection.
Carl Lewis
At the end of the day, if you're a professional athlete in track and field you are the CEO of your company.
Carl Lewis
Track and field is the best way to reach out for kids. It doesn't matter how fast you are. You always want to beat someone.
Carl Lewis
Amateurism is the strongest form of discrimination in sports. Because it discriminates against the underprivileged, it discriminates against the poor. If we want sports to go back to the wealthy, let's make it amateur again.
Carl Lewis
I don't intend to stay around any longer than I feel I can be No. 1.
Carl Lewis
I wouldn't be surprised if one day Carl's halo slipped and choked him.
Carl Lewis
To this day, most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper, although that's the event I had more success in.
Carl Lewis
Channel your energy. Focus.
Carl Lewis
I work with the Carl Lewis Foundation focusing on youth from high school down.
Carl Lewis
My best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet.
Carl Lewis
When I decided to go for four gold medals I planned it out over a few years. It was in four different events and there was a lot to it.
Carl Lewis
I enjoy my life, I love track, I'm set for life financially.
Carl Lewis
Most people want to become movie stars and I just want to be in the business. I already was a star. If I get the part of a lifetime and it blows up, then that's wonderful. But if the acting doesn't work, fine. I'll just be a producer. And if the producing doesn't work, fine. I've got a lot of other stuff.
Carl Lewis
